We can't just point the finger at them. White supremacists, weekly school shootings, healthcare being stripped from those who'll die without it, and troops in our streets, but couldn't even get 3% out for protests. We trash talk them to distract from the fact that we're content being spectators.
The two leaders held talks after attending the key session of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization gathering in the port city of Tianjin, where discussions focused on regional stability, bilateral trade and energy cooperation.
Stocks, Treasuries and the dollar all fell after Lisa Cook’s “sacking” was announced, though the scale of the moves was minor. The relative calm of investors may come with its own problems
It's a mix. 1st, it's only foreign journalists not allowed in. This allows Bibi to claim bias and "fake news" when any horrors are sent to the world. Just let them in. 2nd, yes, some of the journalists were members of Hamas. Their own posts & personal pics over the years made that clear enough.
Then, make your own post instead of attempting to belittle them. Tho, I'm guessing rhetoric and driving wedges is the point, and you spend more time attacking the opposition party/factions than you do the far right. Accurate?
We make it easier for Israel to carry out their ethnic cleansing. Tho, it would take longer, Israel can certainly fund it all without the US and even have nations waiting to take the State's place as their partner. But I suppose honesty & Iranian Regime "death to the infidels" propaganda don't mix.
It's based on need. And when you have a current POTUS who acts as a toddler with a cult at his disposal, then calls his political rivals "the enemy within" and says, "You have to 'do something' about these people," the need is above normal times or under sane, non fascist leadership.
He's a racist, misogynist prick, but it's not just that.
Okay. Kids, right-wingers are selfish pricks who'd rather let children die than have fewer toys. Honest enough?
The way, waaayy outgunned litmus test crew aren't actually doing a "civil war." After spending decades attacking Dems, et al, more than they attack the far right and driving away everyone not in their 1.3% purity voting bloc (still doing so), their defeat would likely occur in less than a day.
Post all day, but the thought of getting off your asses for even one and you go full meltdown. Nothing but a bunch of bs keyboard warriors.
The faux "outrage" in these replies. I definitely want the Dems to speak out more, but every damn 1 of you knows that's not stopping what's coming.
Back then, if she had, she would've lost a different but equally powerful support structure. But the far left had already swore (bragged even) they wouldn't vote for anyone from "genocide Joe's admin, no matter what." Despite never being a hardliner, she was given a no-win litmus test.
"Oh, that's just Trump talking, that's what he does." His own supporters biggest defense of him is literally "you can't believe anything he says." I hate this fucking timeline.
"Why didn't Biden/Harris do the fascist thing 1st and take over the DOJ" isn't the bulletproof argument that you think. All any MAGA had to do to stay on the ticket (see Colorado) was appeal any convictions (stall) until the elections. This was always going to be on the voters, always. We failed.
Trump said it. Kamala's speech came after Trump said that Dems were "calling for violence like their previous Antifa riots" and that he'd use "whatever means necessary, including the guard, to keep our cities safe." He said it, and people still called her the hyperbolic one.
I'll continue to vote for the best candidate, which was Kamala and Hillary. I won't declare someone as the better person based on gender.
Social media loves black & white declarations. I'm not believing any of these women just because they're women.
Opposite ends of the same Da'fuq is wrong with you spectrum. 'Hillary = Trump' And 'He's only torturing a small number of immigrants'
Sometimes, one sentence says a lot about its author. "torturing a 'small number' of.." in a post meant to diminish concern would be an example.
"Now that we've killed the Green party, time to dump Dems and win with our own 1% of the vote!"
You forgot to mention that the left DIDN'T "vote blue, no matter who." I'm pulling for Mamdani, and yes, fuck Jeffries. But you don't get to play the betrayed victim when you've been the fucking assailant for 25 years and built this GD SCOTUS fucking us all.
Leftists actually: "We're openly promising to destroy you and take what you built! We also bragged about costing Dems the 2 elections that built the SCOTUS destroying every marginalized group and the fucking planet, haha. Why won't the stupid shitlibs be nicer to us??"
It's revisionist history to wash the blood off of their hands by a *faction of leftists. The far-right used lies, propaganda, & suppression to reach fascism, ONLY possible bc of an extreme SCOTUS. The far-left helped build SCOTUS in 2000/'16. Even bragged back then. Now? "It's the Dems' fault!"
In fairness, I will add that he claimed his misogyny and racism were "fake news." "The work of an imposter, one of my many, many enemies"
The world's largest retailer — like many others — has been absorbing most of the increased costs, but raising prices of some goods.
Extraordinary new detail about the FBI purge. *Senior officials were asked to fire lower level officials tagged by online right wingers as being anti-Trump. *When they asked for a reason - required by law - they were not given any. They refused. Then they were fired. www.cbsnews.com/news/politic...
Just for the record, this is who you're talking to.
His wording and mentally defunct fascist threats were way worse, you sorry ass excuse for journalism.
I see people defend the most unprofessional behavior, despite knowing it's wrong, based on nothing more than siding with an influencer. Tom is well aware of when and why he quote posts instead of just replying. He wants his followers to have a go at those who disagree. To quote Tom Nichols
There was a time when I bought his act but finally realized that he has never wanted to stop facism, only influence how it operates. That and punish "libs" for voters rejecting his preferred candidates. In case of block, his own blatant hypocrisy on answering questions.
The fucking irony. People asked fifty for REALISTIC alternatives to his rants against Dem *counter gerrymandering. (Other than his "we 'force' them" bs), this is what they got. 95% anti-Dem rhetoric 7 months into a MAGA ran gov't (100% during election years), but NEVER any actual answers.

It's amazing what regular people will do for influencers, even though the sentiment would never be returned. Just goes to show that, despite the maga types, you can't find better people than your average well-meaning citizens.
Read slowly, even a troll "fool" like you can comprehend. 1) Evidence does NOT get released in an open investigation. 2)Epstein was involved in blackmail, er go, they were still gathering evidence on pedophiles. 3) Bondi shut it down, letting pedophiles go free. 4) You support pedophilia.
Yeah, it sucks that it's a phony like Gavin that stepped up, but someone needed to. Given you all were too busy claiming post pubescent muscle growth being seen differently in weightlifting vs. baseball was as oppressive as what black people experienced during slavery, the position was open.
Agree with everything else, but.. No matter how many times people shout, "Ignore the data, or even the possibility there could be more than one (my) reason!" ignoring data will NEVER be the right thing to do.
OMG
Millions of AT&T customers can file claims worth up to $7,500 in cash payments as part of a $177 million settlement related to data breaches in 2024: cnn.it/3UyW62V
“.. Let’s be clear: The so-called summit with Vladimir Putin did absolutely nothing to advance any American interests .. We got nothing. Appeasement doesn’t work, has never worked, never will work.” — Sean Hannity, after Biden’s 2021 summit @passantino.bsky.social www.status.news/p/trump-puti...
I started to laugh, but you did try to sell on us on ethics being part of Repubs ditching Newt. So none of this would be the craziest thing that you bought into.
Crap. I never believed Putin had anything Epstein related, but if Tom is pulling out the dismissive tone, now it feels more likely that he does.
Holy overreacting post police. I see Yashir is still mad that Obama didn't handle the Iranian Regime the way he wanted him to.
That'd be the leftists who helped the far right build a SCOTUS now overseeing the death of millions + the destruction of Roe, the environment, gun regulations, unions and immigrants. 2000 election (Roberts & Alito). 2016 (the Trump trio) It was always the "but Dems make us hurt people" left.
Perhaps the message should've outweighed the messenger. Even if Republicans are notoriously offended by hypocrisy.
Holy strawman, Tom. When was that ever even close to the choice? Your party just chose Trump over perfectly sane individuals. That's reality.
Ken White's playful reply to you here is funny. But his thoughts on the actual subject are better.
I just looked at 'his' feed and recognized another post from someone else. Also, scroll from the top down. The account has posted multiple times an hour, every hour for *at least* the last 24 hours straight.
Yeah, those damn "lefty pinko commies" ending civil discourse and whatnot.
I see that account regularly. Its only purpose is to ensure division. Division that allows Iran (and by default, Trump) to benefit. Take a 5-second glance at their feed. Real pro Gaza leftist accounts usually rack up massive followings, but they don't buy this guy's act.
Expectations in Russia are running high ahead of Friday’s planned summit between Russian leader Vladimir Putin and President Trump.
The videos — which one Palestinian source said were designed to show the terrible impact of restricted aid flows in Gaza — backfired, shutting down the growing sympathy in Israel towards civilians there. Read more: reut.rs/4m6Snpn 6/6
Cool. You can tell your kids how your boss and coworkers "both sided" them right into global catastrophe. Should break up the discussion of them watching a republic fall to autocracy.
Usually. For whatever reason, we've been seeing more diversity in the one place that we don't need it.
When a naturalized or birthright citizen gets caught up in Trump's fascist raids, no one ever asks who they voted for. We all just show empathy, like decent human beings. There's a small amount of truth to at least some of the stereotypes against our own side.
Neither you nor the op have one clue how that man voted. You're both just playing the percentages to justify your own maga with a different color jersey comments.
Let me try. "..something, something!, a majority of farmers voted for Trump so they should all suffer! And screw the poor people who'll have less to cuz the resulting price hikes.. now give me likes"
So far, I've gotten: 1) Biden didn't campaign on debt forgiveness. 2) No one on the left was mad. 3) Blamed the anger on the Israeli war that hadn't happened yet. As Cuban said, just lie.
The war hadn't even started in 2020, but okay.
Okay, but is he wrong and why? I ask because the left eviscerated Biden for saying he'd forgive student debt. It was blasphemy for him to campaign on something that he'd need the Senate to pass a bill to fully enact. So, why is it different for Mamdani, who'll also need approval that's not coming?
Ironic given that it's an exact replica of the tactic actual MAGA uses with "RINO" Dem *leadership sucks, that's a given. But Progs tried the hostile takeover approach and failed miserably. Now, you're losing the ability to even sway them with these exaggerated attacks & stupid purity tests.
"For those who are fighting" You're being dishonest. You target anyone who doesn't fit in your small box even when they do try to speak up. "Not good enough." "Not how I wanted it worded." No one can have a single differing opinion without you yelling "blue maga."
That was my concern. What if they hunt more in hopes that'd increase their chances of non injected horns.
If poachers can't tell by sight, I hope they don't try to double the kill number in hopes of getting a "clean" horn.
A thread about the current prez, currently on TV, and he's baffled as to why people are talking about him & not, say, the dude elected in 1992. All to defend a pedo felon, making millions selling pardons & the WH. Even Trump openly lusting over his own daughter doesn't bother MAGA, ffs. Epstein.
As Trump's Make America Great Again movement has come to define the Republican party's identity, the line separating the far right from mainstream conservatism has grown increasingly difficult to draw, experts on political extremism said reut.rs/4ftv4ne
"I'm a totally sincere and serious account".. yasickfk.
Question: Why is the left so determined to call attention to this when the result will be Trump to his rescue? Just clicks?
For some of us, stopping fascism outweighs your all's personal animosity towards voters that are needed. Winning a tiny majority in Congress doesn't undo the damage that's been done.
Yeah, why didn't Biden interfere with and weaponize the DOJ exactly like we're disgusted at Trump for doing. All for nothing given the current SCOTUS. The never-ending "our kind of authoritarianism is the best authoritarianism" hot takes are something else.
Internal polls showed Harris never led. She made a last ditch hail Mary to prevent fascism and the millions that will - and are now - dying without USAID. The left HAS screamed more over Harris' attempt than over mass death, but still act baffled as to why they've fallen from 4% of the vote to 1.3%
Read as "Wealthy jackass demands country appease tyrant for the sake of his own bottom line."
With so many more Gazans suffering and dying under Trump, I made a list of all "Genocide Don" posts that I've seen the past month. Here it is. ... ... Huh, that's weird.
I would say that @thetnholler.bsky.social pushes anything for rage bait, but I that's not entirely true. Their outrage drops from 110 to 5 when the shoe is on the other foot. Like Tlaib refusing to endorse Harris or Stein bragging she'll ignore her own to sabotage the country.
Starvation & food center massacres morphing from rare - to policy were not continuation. "Continue" is revisionist on par with "Gore & Bush are the same" & "we never said that Roe wouldn't be overturned." Same as immigrants and women dying in ERs, starving Gazans, damn sure know the difference.
"Worth a read." If you're in the mood for the equivalent of an infomercial for a horrible human being, complete with business info, so more horrible people can find him, sure it was.
🙄 She didn't have Cheney the 1st 75% of the campaign. The left promised to never vote for her. Only weeks to go, she invites Liz on stage, to which the left does exactly what leftists do. As with Roe, they completely rewrite history to absolve themselves. "She trotted out Cheney that whole time!"
The same single issue voters who claimed before the election that they were targeting only Dems bc "Dems are the ones in power" But now, they are in every major thread, still bashing Dems more than the GOP. Despite Republicans having full control of government.
This doesn't even count the endless women they've made suffer or die after their lies about Roe not being in danger.
It's never been about saving Gaza. Killing Biden's aid requirements and helping Netanyahu starve Gazans? They were happy to help the far right do it as long as they got to "teach Dems a lesson"
Haha, some of these replies versus what was actually said. Hell, I support trans kids, and even I can't stand most of the hyperbolic, drama actors on here. Pete: It's nuanced. Extremists on Bluesky:
Interesting viewpoint.
Make sure that you write to them too and explain how virtuous you were while helping to put the starvation plan into action. I'm sure they'll appreciate that more than the food you helped take away. bsky.app/profile/josp...
Just say that you voted for actual genocide. Fact: You only care about virtue signaling but have gleefully starved & sacrificed 3x the number of Gazans. You got EXACTLY what you wanted, now go write to the screaming parents, and tell them at least, "We owned those libs!" hero.
I'm telling ya, the people here are smart enough to know that, but it comes down to who says it. When I worked for Branson, the same thing would happen whenever a country artist visited. People will go by the wrong name if it's what all larger personality calls them.
It took only a few posts to find that one. We all know that with any search effort, "not surprised" would be found also. The pattern of influencers randomly scolding followers has increased 10 fold. But it's not as weird as their followers-(emphasize) who line up to thank them and ask for more.
No more "not surprised".. from now on, "as predicted." Totally different, you see.
If comments about the voice and laugh of a reporter like Tucker or everything about Stephen Miller, just part of public life, why do similar comments about Bondi or this reporter, keep getting labeled as misogyny? Isn't having separate standards the opposite of our goal?
Dems, focus on real Progressives, your base & *actual swing* voters. Except for a few honestly well-intentioned people, others will always help the far right. You'll never win them over. No matter what they claim, their fellow extremists on the right will always be "better" to them.
AOC was right, "Predator/s." A loud minority who gave up their political capital, highjacking the causes of others for their own desires. But they always screw them over. Their victims, Immigrants, Labor, Pride, BLM, Palestine.. only see their suffering increase, or with Gaza, even worse.
Now, add in the millions dying without USAID. If you stayed home, not only did you contribute to Gaza starvation, you have the blood of millions on your hands, period.
Maybe stop saying and doing things to help MAGA's narrative about the left's view of men. Like taking offense to posted pics that do absolutely nothing to harm you in any way. Maybe Dems won't need to over-compensate to win back some of the regular guys back. Weird they're not drawn to you all.
Awe.. leftists unable to decide the 2024 election, as they did in 2000/2016. When THEY built the SCOTUS responsible for endless death & the destruction of our environment. People have caught on to their fake "helping" while they actually have killed thousands. Now, a pathetic 1.3% of the vote.
Weird. I wonder why Hamas had previously posted that food would go to fighters first, and civilians caught trying to take it would be dealt with?
Polls didn't flinch either way with her remarks on Israel. None at all. The idea it decided elections exists in the same bubble as a Trump win being no different or even better for Gazans. Incumbent parties WORLDWIDE lost on inflation. Party affiliation or stance on Israel did not save any of them.
It Ain't Me.
